A year ago, I posted the words. Now...
Back when I was a wee lad (born 1959) I just couldn't wait for Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer on the TV. Me'n'Rudy; we were outcasts together!
As I grew a (tad), my compass tended a touch more "Peanuts-ward," when I finally began to absorb the message repeated by Linus, in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Last year I reproduced the words, now I'll add the video. :)

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

My best wishes and prayers to all, on this most wonderful of days.
